| Diversity: Multicultural |
| Grand Valley welcomes multicultural students. Students from different racial backgrounds comprise twelve per cent of the students that use the Counseling and Career Development Center services. The students of color impact the university by giving the majority students and staff an opportunity to interact with people other than those from their same background. The Counseling Center offers groups that explore cultural differences, racism, multiracial adoption, African American men or women and Latina women. Once a year we bring in a nationally known minority speaker for our Multicultural Conference. We have a diverse professional and clerical staff. The Counseling Center has an in-house diversity team that monitors diversity policies and strategies. Doctoral interns are trained in multiracial counseling and frequently are from a multiracial group. |
